When people say quiter, it's just comparing to stock right? And sound different between V1 and V2?

I hope it's not a stupid question, I've been out of the loop for a few months now. I see a lot of posters are linking the FAA map for reference, and I want to make sure I understand the rules right: https://faa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=9c2e4406710048e19806ebf6a06754ad...

Thanks for the tips, on white balancing, it won't be easy making them all look similar, since it was a compilation of about 3-4 missions shot under different time (some mid day, some around sunset) and conditions (one after snow blanketed everything, another where is half melted). That being...

have you tried flying like that? I have a 3D printer too and I don't think I'd dare flying with that bit of plastic holding together the blades. Just curious about the results

Went out after two recent snow storms, just practicing some filming from the back yard and working on my video editing. Half way into edit I started to regret choosing a 3.5 minute long audio track as I sorta ran out of unique clips, oh well! Also even tho I uploaded a 100 Mbps source file, the...

Went out shooting after sunset one time, it was cool and I've learned a lot about the lowlight video and photo capabilities of my drone, but it was not amazing, I think I'd much rather be out when there is still a bit of light left so it's not just capturing the lighting. Still would do again tho!

I'm new to the Mavic Air as well, curious about the message on top which showed "no signal" with frozen/static view for over 2.5 minutes from the point of signal loss to RTH landed, is that normal? Altho I can see the telemetry and map updating on the bottom, shouldn't the video feed also came...

The cache saved on your phone are low resolution, 720p I believe, they are serviceable if you just want to look at it on a 5inch phone, but blow it up to a 1080 or 4K TV it's going to look like crap

This is the 1st thing I've noticed as well with the Panos, best bet is to save the raw files and use something like Image Composite Editor and do it youself. The pano on the SD card is basically just a preview

Depends 100% on you and your audience. If you are just posting pics for friends and family on facebook, no one is going to give a crap (or notice in most cases) if its a still pulled from 4K video or not, most people look at stuff on their phones not 4k TVs. However if you are trying to sell...

Are you taking only photos? In which case you shouldn't be using ND filters unless it's a planned long exposure shot during day light. ND filters are primarily used for motion blur in videos. For high contrast scenes, instead of ND, you could bracket your shots (3 different exposures), so you...

I glanced at the article, there are no new rules, and we didn't lose anything? He wanted an exemptions for hobbyist, aka avoiding the drone registration $5 and not be governed by FAA rules, honestly that's never going to work. Strictness of where you can or cannot fly aside, having a drone...

I had problem with lag the latest android software (4.2.20), and had to down grade to 4.2.16, you might want to do that as well, just need to side load the APK for the older version. Battery low warning at 85% could be an issue with the setting, check what your low battery warning % is set to

I've heard eyes of predators (i.e. cats) scares off birds, so maybe a sticker or two would do the trick? I was also wondering if adding stripes or colors to the props would do anything to deter them?

Just a follow up on the 2nd point, so technically I would be able to climb to 400ft from top of the building (and 500ft relative to ground), I'd just not be following the guidelines if I did. In any case thanks for the explanations, sounds like its not that troublesome at all, I just want to...
